    Dear Family, I was fortunate to be come acquainted with your mom at Lancia's Villa Vista when I visited my mother, Clara.  They attended the monthly Mass together, and we three said the Rosary. She would spend time chatting with my mother and other residents. Youe mom was always sweet to everyone. I know that she is now in heaven experiencing joy that is beyond anything any of on earth can know.
